I just painted the rims myself. They look good as far as a nice even finish goes but they are starting to get a few small chips. I plan to get them powder coated in the near future.
I am still running the stock Michelin Pilot Primacy's. They are horrible for snow but the car stays parked in garage all winter. I just pulled it out for about 10 mins. to take those pics.
I also put 13mm spacers in the rear to push the stockies out a bit. Looks much better IMO.

Snail, your car looks amazing! I was in the market for some bigger wheels, but after seeing how great your car looks, I'm going to paint my stock 07 wheels black and see how that looks first.
Where did you get the 13mm spacers? Did you need longer bolts after adding them?

I have H&R sport lowering springs. 
Thank you. The 07 stocks are pretty nice IMO. I like the how they have the deeper dish in the rear. I got the spacers from a guy on MYMB. I did have to get longer lug bolts. I was scared that 50mm would be too short so I got 55mm but had to cut about a thread length off.
They are black housing projectors that I bought from Umnitza. I did an 8000k HID swap when I put them in. Planning on doing an HID swap in my fog lights this week as well.
